Orange County’s culinary scene is about to welcome a major new dining experience: Katella Commons, the giant new food hall coming to OCVIBE.
The enormous 100-acre OCVIBE project is an entertainment district overhaul surrounding Anaheim’s Honda Center, featuring a 5,000-person concert hall and a sprawling urban park, among other attractions.
Katella Commons is slated to open in early 2027 with 21 chef-driven kitchens and 6 bars and lounges, laid out in a brand new, spacious market hall.
Here’s a closer look…
Inside Katella Commons
Katella Commons is designed to be a premier food market hall that doubles as a striking architectural gathering space.
Acclaimed Chef Rémi Lauvand is the culinary expert behind Katella Commons, helping shape the experience and curate the 21 carefully chosen kitchen spaces.
The space will feature six bars and lounges integrated alongside the food selection, making it a versatile space for pre-concert drinks and nights out. From the moody Bar Bacchia to the beer-garden-inspired Rea’s Ranch, the lounges can host every kind of visitor.
Beyond the menus, the architecture of Katella Commons is expected to be a major draw. The structure incorporates natural light, airy open concepts, and communal environments that flow naturally into OCVIBE’s surrounding public plazas.
OCVIBE’s 100-acre vision
While Katella Commons will no doubt be worth the drive alone, it’s just one piece of a much larger puzzle. OCVIBE is a $4 billion transit-oriented, inclusive, and sustainable public gathering space designed to completely transform the area around Honda Center.
The food hall will debut next year alongside several other major milestones, including the brand-new, 5,000-person OCVIBE Concert Hall and the landscaped Urban Park, which will introduce three miles of walkable trails and an outdoor public art gallery.
By its anticipated completion in 2033, OCVIBE will boast 20 new acres of open space, more than 2,000 residences, two hotels, and over 35 distinct dining experiences.
